[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 351334, member: 7083"] Spoke to difficult child earlier. She got confused between who is the social worker and who is the psychiatrist. It's the psychiatrist she doesn't like. I've spoken to both and I have the opposite feeling. Anyway, psychiatrist was under the impression that difficult child was admitted because difficult child was suicidal. This whole thing has been a mess. I told psychiatrist that "tips" isn't going to be helpful and she agreed. She said difficult child says nothing helps. They did a relaxation group last night and difficult child begrudgingly admitted that it helped, but was saying by this morning that it didn't. Yep. That's difficult child. psychiatrist said residential is going to mainly have behavior disordered kids, although she said that the place I'm looking into does more mental health than anything else. She then said I would have to turn my child over to Children Services to get residential treatment. So, I called the place I'm interested in and they said that unless I can cover the room and board that medicaid doesn't cover, I have to have difficult child referred by Children Services (or the court). So, I called Children Services and now have a caseworker for family in need of services. Normally they would go with me to the meeting (tomorrow when difficult child is being released), but they are in training. So, she gave me her number if they want to talk to her and the caseworker will get in touch with me next week to set up a time to meet, etc. They were very nice and helpful and while they aren't going to recommend residential out of the chute, it will open up more resources. So, tell me, when/how was I supposed to relax while difficult child was gone? :hammer: <------I think that is the only way it would have happened. :rofl: I'm tired. [/QUOTE]
